Add transmit and receive offload support using the virtio-net header
that is exchanged with the kernel TAP device.
Tx offloads:
- UDP and TCP checksum offload: set VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM
with appropriate csum_start and csum_offset fields
- TCP segmentation offload (TSO): set gso_type and gso_size
Rx offloads:
- Parse virtio-net header flags to determine checksum status
- Handle NEEDS_CSUM by either marking L4_CKSUM_NONE for known
protocols or computing the checksum in software for tunnels
- Handle DATA_VALID flag to mark L4_CKSUM_GOOD
- Parse GSO headers to populate LRO metadata
Configure kernel-side offloads via TUNSETOFFLOAD in dev_configure
based on the requested rx offload flags.
Report offload capabilities in dev_info.
